Education in categorization and identification of Temporary Rivers to fight climate change

Description

<< Objectives >>Temporary rivers (TRs) are defined as watercourses that may dry up for some period of time within the year. These watercourses are ubiquitous in the EU and all over the world, from the Alpine snow-fed creeks to occasionally water-filled streams in arid and semi-arid areas. At the global scale, recent hydrological estimates suggested that water ceases to flow along more than 50% of the world’s rivers by length, demonstrating that non-perennial rivers can be seen as a rule.<< Implementation >>The project aims to:• Design and develop educational activities and training materials focused on Temporary Rivers (TRs);• Design and develop open-access, easy-to-use IT tools based on satellite imagery analysis for the identification and categorisation of TRs;• Build-up an open-access GIS repository to share TRs mapping over space and time and quantify the dynamics of flow intermittency across river networks.Implement Local pilots to validate the curriculum and the IT tool and a hackathon.<< Results >>Main results of the RIVERTEMP project:R3.2 Training materials for professors, university students, VET trainers, SME staff. 7 modules including: theory (6h, modules 1-5), workshop (3h, module 6) and field trip (3 h, module 7).R4.1. A MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) on identification and categorization of TRs including the main content from the training curriculum. (WP4)R4.2. An IT tool to process satellite images and obtain an classification of the flow conditions in temporary rivers, i.e
